Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply For Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility To Apply For
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended (19 USC 2273), the Department of Labor herein presents
the results of an investigation regarding certification of
eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance, the group eligibility requirements in either
paragraph (a)(2)(A) or (a)(2)(B) of Section 222 of the Trade Act
must be met. It is determined in this case that the requirements
of (a)(2)(B) of Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on January 29, 2008 in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers of TI
Automotive, Plant #27, Marysville, Michigan. The workers
produce fuel lines for the automotive industry.
Workers at TI Automotive, Oven Department, Brake and
Fuel/Marysville Plant, Marysville, Michigan, engaged in the
production of oven formed parts were certified eligible to apply
for adjustment assistance on February 14, 2006 (TA-W-58,703).
The worker group covered by the current petition is separately
identifiable from the workers previously certified under
petition TA-W-58,703.
This investigation revealed that employment at plant 27
declined in 2007 and continued to decline in early 2008.
The investigation also revealed that the subject firm has
shifted production of fuel lines from Marysville, Michigan to
Mexico, a country that is party to a free trade agreement with
the United States.
In addition, in accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act of
1974 (26 USC 2813), as amended, the Department of Labor herein
presents the results of its investigation regarding certification
of eligibility to apply for alternative trade adjustment
assistance (ATAA) for older workers.



The group eligibility criteria for the ATAA program

that the Department must consider under Section 246 of the

Trade Act are:
1. Whether a significant number of workers in the
workers' firm are 50 years of age or older.
2. Whether the workers in the workers' firm possess skills
that are not easily transferable.
3. The competitive conditions within the workers' industry
(i.e., conditions within the industry are adverse).
The Department has determined that criterion 1 has not been
met.
The investigation revealed that there is not a significant
number of workers in the workers' firm that are 50 years of age
or older.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that there is a shift in production
from the workers firm or subdivision to Mexico of articles that
are like or directly competitive with those produced by the
subject firm or subdivision. In accordance with the provisions
of the Act, I make the following certification:


"All workers of TI Automotive, Plant #27, Marysville,
Michigan, engaged in employment related to the production
of fuel lines, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after January 28, 2007 through two
years from the date of certification are eligible to apply
for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade
Act of 1974."
I further determine that all workers of TI Automotive,
Plant #27, Marysville, Michigan, are denied eligibility to
apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance under
Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 22nd day of February 2008
